Summary

As we have all discovered at one time or another, attempting to lock up a secret is as effective trying to conceal the sunrise — you may block the light for a while, but there’s no denying the time of day. All too often, secrets start as little things that slowly snowball over time, fed by the darkness we keep them in. Yet the human heart wasn’t designed to be a labyrinth of secrets. Rather, it was created to be a throne room for God Himself. As such, any secret we create will take up space that our Heavenly Father longs to fill up with His goodness, beauty, peace, truth, hope, and love.

What We Find in the Dark Aubrey Sampson When we find ourselves in the dark after loss, big questions often follow: Where is God now? Why can’t we sense His presence? How can I trust that God is good? The deep theological wrestlings that arise after the pain of grief can be jarring. But we need permission to ask the raw questions and space to say them aloud. Join Aubrey Sampson and her guests–theologians, pastors, and Christian thought leaders as they unpack what we find in the dark–whether it be a dark night of the soul, disillusionment, disappointment or grief and in each conversation, offer glimmers of light, hope, and healing. Idea Machines Benjamin Reinhardt Idea Machines is a deep dive into the systems and people that bring innovations from glimmers in someone's eye all the way to tools, processes, and ideas that can shift paradigms. We see the outputs of innovation systems everywhere but rarely dig into how they work. Idea Machines digs below the surface into crucial but often unspoken questions to explore themes of how we enable innovations today and how we could do it better tomorrow.Idea Machines is hosted by Benjamin Reinhardt. Glimmers & Glows Steve There are times in our lives as nervy human creatures, that we experience glimmers and glows: a sense of being at "home" in ourselves and the world. In this state we feel safe and connected, calm and grounded. Words, music, art, nature takes us there; an encounter with another living being, but also specific emotion-regulation practices. This is a collection of my glimmers and glows, as well as those I have collected from others. If you would like to share with me your glimmers&glows, or any other thoughts, please send a message to [email protected].
